Room Comments/Treatments: Thick wool carpet (approx 1" thick). Lots of wood furniture. Listening is nearfield.
Music Preferences and Comments:
Music Used (Genre/Selections): Classic Rock, Jazz, Blues, Progressive Rock, some Heavy Metal.
System Goals/Comments: TO HAVE FUN!
System Strengths: The Totem's like to rock, provided I'm careful about the midbass woofer displacement. Drums sound especially fun.
System Weaknesses: I constantly worry about overextending the tiny woofers on the Totems. I think an active crossover is needed in my future.
Video/HT System: Integrated
TV/Projector: Proxima Lightbook 30

Only 300 lumens, only SVGA, but also only $250 with $5 bulbs.

Projected onto wall above stereo, 120' diagonal with minimal screen door or pixellation. If some material is distorted (pixellated) I am easily annoyed by it and the picture is decreased to about 90'.

Comments on HT System: My HT system is not actually for home theater. Rather I have a decent collection of live concert DVDs and was tired of trading off either sound or picture. Now my concerts can be seen with hi-fidelity audio too!
